The United Filipino Organization has completed the construction of four concrete bleachers at the Civic Center in Susupe as part of the group\u2019s rehabilitation of the facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve adopted this as our project. It\u2019s a yearlong rehabilitation work at no cost to the local government,\u201d said UFO president Ronald Pamintuan yesterday.<\/p>\n
He said the organization chose the center since it usually used as a venue for several community events.<\/p>\n
For one, he said that the UFO used to hold its annual basketball tournaments there.<\/p>\n
Likewise, the Philippine Consulate General usually uses the venue to celebrate Pistang Pinoy during the Philippines\u2019 Independence Day.<\/p>\n
The facility is also a favorite site for several other local activities: Sabalu market, Agricultural Fair, political campaigns, walkathon assemblies, among others.<\/p>\n
Years back, the UFO had built wooden benches around the civic center basketball court, but these are damaged now. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe now want to put up concrete bleachers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pamintuan said the court would need a total of six bleachers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to make two more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said UFO volunteers dedicated their weekend time to do the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are doing it with the help of our volunteers and sponsors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said UFO gets donations from certain companies. Among them are RVE Construction and RP Construction, which give ready-mix concrete mix.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful to our sponsors and volunteers,\u201d Pamintuan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
